Very nice model but I hate her boots, not too much problematic to paint. I haven't painted bolter red because in my humble opinion GW is quite weird about those colourful weapons, red military guns? Yeah right.

that lionhead chestplate looks sillynot criticizing your work, the model itself is sillyhave you considered making the eyes look more like sapphires?make a very reflective under layer then ink it with blue?

Yeah, the Lord Celestant is odd, and the most annoying model I have ever painted. I was thinking about this eye but this photo is 2 times bigger than the original mini so the effect will be almost imperceptible.

Praise the Machine GodBless His construct-creationsAnd death to those who are not part of His grand design

its the details that bring things to life, and if you can get it right you can do it to the lionshoulderplate toobut most people would never notice so i can understand not risking it

if you do every try something like that on a different model or somethinguse a pighair brush, it will keep the ink from making curved lines a softhair brush would createthe strait lined irregularities will give it a more cut-gem-look
